ZTE Nubia Z9 Goes Bezel-less

The Nubia Z9 comes in three versions.

Chinese consumer electronics company, ZTE, has unveiled a bezel-less phone called the Z9, which comes in three versions, supporting dual-SIM capabilities and a new technology called FiT or Frame interactive Technology.

Nubia’s FiT technology, we’ve learned, allows users to enable grip and gesture-based controls on the phone’s middle frame, which is made from aluminum. Users, for example, can unlock the Z9 using a pre-defined grip. The obvious downside here is security.

Nevertheless, the ZTE Z9 is a device not to be missed, especially when it allows you to open apps or your camera with a touch of your fingertips.

You’ll get two models. The black classic edition is powered by a Snapdragon 810 processor with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. On the other hand, the elite edition ups the ante with a 64GB storage capacity and 4GB RAM.

Both models sport a 5.2-inch 1080p display manufactured by Sharp. Additionally, the phones have a 16-megapixel camera on the back and an 8-megapixel camera on the front.

It’s worth noting that the Z9 uses Sony’s new IMX234 CMOS sensor, which is also used on the LG G4. Other features include a 2,900mAh battery, NFC, an IR blaster, and Android L OS.

Unlike ZTE’s other devices, the Nubia Z9 is priced at 3,499 yuan or $560. The elite edition costs $645 because of the specs. ZTE is even planning to launch a premier edition, which reportedly costs $725, according to Engadget.
